What happens if you do not have photo ID while applying for social welfare?

    Is it pretty much a fail?

    In the absence of photo ID, perhaps bring as many as you can of the documents that may also be acceptable (see below) and see what happens.

    Evidence of identity

    You can provide evidence of your identity by showing your passport or your driver's licence.

    If you do not have either a passport or driver’s licence, you should bring any other document that you may have, particularly one that has your photograph on it.

    The following documents may also be acceptable: credit card, debit card, medical card, age ID card, work ID card, club membership card.

    The following items are not accepted as proof of identity:

    Birth or Baptismal certificates
    Bills or personal letters
    A claim cannot be decided until identity has been proven.
